Akiane's work is really wonderful to behold and her poetry is very moving. She is one of these people who are born with this talent.

There were and are many other children who had/have similar talents and we can be amazed at what they produce.
I describe but 2 of them briefly.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart( Austrian -18th century), child genius of the music world.He wrote his first two compositions at the age of five!

Stephen Wiltshire (British born 1974) who is now an accomplished architectural artist. Diagnosed as autistic. His first words at the age of 5 were 'pencil and paper'.
It soon became apparent he communicated with the world through the language of drawing; first animals, then London buses, and finally buildings.
He has the ability to look at a target once and then draw a very accurate and very detailed picture of it straight off.
Here is a video link to see what he does:
